These Shining Lives

by Melanie Marnich

Directed by Doug Brown

These Shining Lives chronicles the strength and determination of women considered expendable in their day, exploring their true story and its continued resonance. Catherine and her friends are dying, it’s true; but theirs is a story of survival in its most transcendent sense, as they refuse to allow the company that stole their health to kill their spirits—or endanger the lives of those who come after them.

Performances at 7:30pm October 3-5 and 7-9; 2:00pm on October 6.

This play is rated PG13 and runs for approximately 1 hour, 45 minutes with an intermission.
